Candidate Pictures[edit]

First, I'm not sure that these all fall under "fair use". Second, I do not think we should have two candidates and not the other sixteen. That's why I commented out (not deleted, I was being nice) the pics. Any opinions? [[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>SpeakToMe<<]] 02:26, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

OK, MattTM, I think the group "thumbnails" work much better. Thanks! [[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>SpeakToMe<<]] 02:30, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

I hear you. Actually those photos are available at NBC's public relations site for journalists, so they are freely available to the media. As for only two pictures, I agree. They should all be there and I see that you (or someone, I haven't checked to see who) changed it to include all 18.

Yep, I put in the mosaic (no pun intended) image of all of the candidates. The individual photographs are nice, but are probably better suited for the individual candidate pages whenever we get their last names. - MattTM 02:35, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
"Mosaic", that's the word I wanted! I settled for thumbnails when my brain wouldn't function.
BTW, Inturnaround, I had typed out the episode one synopsis. When I hit Save, I had an edit conflict with you. Since yours was as good as (perhaps better than) mine, I did not overwrite. [[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>SpeakToMe<<]] 02:47, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
Sorry, all, I'm still getting the hang of all of this. I'm sorry about the edit conflict, Nelson. Thanks for thinking my words were up to par, though. Do you want to take the lead on this page this season? Inturnaround 03:05, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
No need to apologize. Neither of had a way of knowing what the other was doing. I'm not sure that I want to accept responsibility. If I notice that it hasn't been updated by the Friday after airing, I will add the info. (the NBC website should be updated by then). I can't promise I won't get antsy and do something on Thursday, though.
At any rate, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you have as much fun as I do. [[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>SpeakToMe<<]] 03:12, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

Anti-Apprentice Conspiracy[edit]

It seems that certain Wikipedia Contributors feel that Apprentice candidates are not notable. Two articles on them have been listed on Votes for Deletion (VfD). I have just created stubs for the rest and fear that they will befall the same fate. Please vote Keep, for each listed below. List will be expanded if and when they are added to VfD. Thank you.

[[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>Talk<<]] 05:52, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

I disagree with the deletions as well. Now that we have articles on all of the Apprentice 2 candidates, I'd like to begin expanding them, but I'm unsure of their fate. One thing we should do is add external links to each page, with links to their NBC.com profile, their official website (which many, if not all, of them have), and any important interviews they have done. Then we need to start compiling their background and show information from the numerous sources. That should make them worthy enough to stay. - MattTM 07:02, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
We are jumping the gun here. I believe we should wait until TA2 is over *before* doing articles on contestants. Why? Everyone, except for Rob and Bradford, is still on the show and we (as Wikipedians) do not know what they will do from one week to the next. We also do not know if they will be anyone after their firing. Case in point: compare David (first person fired last seaon) with Omarosa or some of the others who have made names for themselves since the last season. - iHoshie 08:52, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)


Well, some loser has now listed all of our contestant pages. I won;t even bother to list them all. Raj has been deleted. I will recreate. If they delete again, I'll keep them busy.[[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>Talk<<]] 17:25, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)


I think at this point, I need to concede defeat, since so many people seem to be anti-Apprentice, likely because you don't like reality shows (this one is different from the other crap out there) or you seem to think that if you haven't heard of something, it's not notable (especially harsh for you Brits who have voted). The bios will appear at The Apprentice 2 Candidates. Please do not change the title to "List of" or whatever. The list is in this article. The Apprentice 2 Candidates contains info. that goes beyond a list. Thanks.[[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>Talk<<]] 19:46, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)


OK, so what more remains to be said on this subject?[[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>Talk<<]] 01:05, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)

Copyright status of candidate photos[edit]

The images on the Raj Bhakta and Stacy Rotne (needs to be moved to Stacy Rotner if it survives VfD [1]) articles are nice, but there's been some concern over the copyright status (though they seem to be NBC promotional shots, and should be fair use), and we also only have 2 of 18 so far. I found a few more similar photos here. Should we use these large promotional shots under fair use, or find other images to use? Another option would be the images in the NBC candidate bios, but they are considerably smaller. It would be nice to get images in all 18 candidate articles. - MattTM 07:10, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

They're all at nbcmv.com , the press site for NBC Universal. Actually, these are just the "Preview" size images, being a member of the entertainment press, I could have retrieved and uploaded the full size pics, a couple of MB large. Upload more photos, I don't have the time right off, and this was meant only as a start. -- user:zanimum
Thanks. These photos are great. - MattTM 23:47, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

Request for Comments: Candidate List[edit]

((spoiler)) Please let me know how you feel about replacing the list with the following table. Same data; perhaps better presentation. Thanks. (Also, I think the table may look more balanced if we wikify repeated hometowns. Please let me know.)

Latest episode[edit]

Expand the info if you can on the recruiting episode and its real name. I'm surprised you didn't get the info about it sooner. Also, do you think it is possible we can get the video footage of the TV ads they made?- B-101 15:38, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Do you think it's possible to get their police TV ads?- B-101 22:59, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It might be possible. I still have the episode on my TiVo, but I don't currently have a way to extract the videos. If you found the episode for download somewhere, you could take the commercials from that and upload them here. - MattTM | talk 01:45, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)

Edit rate[edit]

In case you don't know, if you miss the latest episodes, CNBC (cable channel 22) has the latest rerun on Friday at 8 and 11 PM and the next Tuesday at 8 and 11. I really don't want to be the guy who puts in the results of the last episode; my life is already busy enough.- B-101 00:28, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Just one little nitpick. Every cable system is different. Not everyone is going to have CNBC on 22. Nelson Ricardo 02:25, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
Good point. This is if you live in the Rochester, New York area.- B-101 12:15, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Prizes[edit]

I think we should put in what the winning team got, along with the prizes from the first season.- B-101 02:06, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Kelly Perdew[edit]

Because Kelly Perdew is reportedly doing well for The Trump Organization, Perdew deserves an article of his own. I had to update the links so that you will see the separate page for Perdew, I think select candidates (like Kendra and Tana of Season 3) deserved their own articles. Here is the article.

Season 2 on DVD?[edit]

Does anyone know when (or if) the second season will be coming out on DVD? Thanks. Mr. Turcottetalk 15:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Apprentice World-wide WikiProject[edit]

Please contribute to the relevant discussion here, as this discussion relates to this article. Thanks, Dalejenkins | 15:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

False Information[edit]

In week 4, under the Dramatic Tension heading, despite no mention or coverage by the episode or later episodes in the season, someone here has written that Jennifer and Stacey secretly decided not to mention the over-critical Jewish ladies brawl in the boardroom: "though they later discussed the matter privately and agreed to not mention it in the Boadroom.", Where is this information coming from? Does someone here have contact with film crew or production team? Never the less, unless you can cite this conspiracy, it will be removed.

Updated Table[edit]

Hello all! Just here to get everyones opinion about the new table layout for normal Apprentice. So far I have only edited seasons 1 and 2 fearing they will be changed back anyway. Please state your opinions and let me know thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.59.136 (talk) 11:28, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
